Chapter 140: Two Heroes Don't Stand Together, a War to the Death (4)
"Have you heard, there was a patrol team north of the camp last night, and it encountered the Yin soldiers again!"
"Didn't you just hear about it, I was patrolling the north of the camp last night, and I saw a team of Yin soldiers with my own eyes, and I almost peed my pants in fright!"
"Even if you are lucky, the day before yesterday, a team of brothers also saw hell, scared three recruits to death on the spot, and vomited bile!"
……………………
Near the Jiangdong camp, there are Yin soldiers haunting every night, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls is endless, so that the soldiers can't sleep and eat, and they don't dare to go out of the camp to patrol, and everyone is worried!
With heavy casualties, lack of food and grass, and the homesickness of the soldiers, the escapees have been one after another, and now there are ghosts doing chaos, and there are even more people who flee without permission, and hundreds of people can disappear in one night!
And the more people who disappear, the more chaotic Jiangdong Jun's heart becomes, these people who know are deserters, and those who don't know think they were eaten by ghosts, how can the soldiers not be afraid?
In order to stabilize people's hearts, Ling Tong decided to personally lead the patrol to see if there were really ghosts, or if someone was pretending to be a ghost!
After nightfall, Ling Tong personally led three hundred elite soldiers, fully armed, and set off with black dog blood, donkey hooves, and sticky glutinous rice...... Specializing in restraining the things of the ghosts, it can be regarded as prepared!
"There are ghosts, there are really ghosts, there are ghost fires everywhere!"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going home--woo!"
…………
At the second watch, these people fled back in embarrassment, some lost their helmets, some lost their boots, and some were mentally stimulated, sitting on the ground and crying!
Ling Tong's face was also pale, his whole body trembled, he relied on people to support him when he got off the horse, and drank three bowls of spirits in a row, so he eased up a little, but he didn't say a word about what happened!
The fierce generals who kill people like hemp and lick blood with knives are still frightened like this, how terrifying the scene should have been seen and how much stimulation they were received, so that the army's heart was even more flustered......
The timid one directly became a deserter, and he didn't dare to run away at night, but ran in broad daylight, for fear of encountering the Yin soldiers again and turning into the blood food of evil ghosts!
If you are bold, you will cut down the branches of the locust tree everywhere, and they will be wrapped inside and outside the tent, all over your body, and you will have to hold a lot of them when you sleep, because the locust tree is also called 'ghost wood', which has the effect of restraining yin and evil!
There are also smart people, who go around to inquire about the situation of the natives, and the army has been fighting in the south and north for many years, and has been safe and sound, why are there sneaky people everywhere here, there is always a reason...... It turned out to be true!
Xiangyang is a thousand-year-old city, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is constantly killing, and there have been many major wars!
In the 19th year of King Qin, the general-Zhao Xin led 200,000 troops to the south, intending to annex the state of Chu in one fell swoop, but near Xiangyang City, he met with the army of the Chu general-Xiang Yan and launched a shocking bloody battle!
The Qin army was light and unprepared, and as a result, it suffered a crushing defeat, with more than 100,000 men and horses lost, and the blood stained the Han water...... In the process of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, this was also the only fiasco!
It is said that the place where the Qin army camped is now the Jiangdong Army camp, and the bones of the fallen soldiers are buried near the camp.
"No wonder there are always Yin soldiers borrowing the way, it turns out that we live in the ghost den, who chose the camp, it's just a lack of virtue and smoke!"
"Speak quietly, camping thirty miles south of Xiangyang City was personally ordered by the Metropolitan Governor, and the camp was also personally selected!"
"Even if it's the order of the Grand Governor, we can't live in the cemetery, living people and ghosts live together, this is a big taboo!"
………………
The root cause of the haunting has been clarified, but the gossip has not disappeared, but it has intensified, which is also normal, the living are afraid of ghosts, and ordinary people have to avoid graves, mansions, and ancient temples when they walk at night!
What's more, under the Jiangdong camp, there are countless bones buried, and they are all Qin soldiers who died in battle, Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and the soldiers are the most brave and strong.
People are in fear, and they love to be cranky, so all kinds of gossip appear, and there are noses and eyes, one is racing and the other is scary, the main versions are:
First, the large camp of the Jiangdong Army was pressed on the tomb of the Qin army, hindering the return of the ghosts, so there were Yin soldiers who borrowed the road every night to warn the Jiangdong soldiers to move away from here as soon as possible, and people and ghosts would not offend each other!
Second, the ghosts of the Qin army are too resentful, it is difficult to enter the six realms of reincarnation, and they must find a substitute in order to be reincarnated as a human...... This is truly terrifying!
Third, some people linked the haunted thing with Xiao Yi, saying that he was the reincarnation of Xingjun, in charge of killing in the world, and also had the ability to serve the Yin soldiers, secretly using hundreds of boys and women as sacrifices, preparing to summon 200,000 Yin soldiers to kill all the people and horses in Jiangdong!
There is also reliable news that when Xiao Yi was trapped in the swamp, he relied on summoning Yin soldiers to kill him from the siege, and then thinking of various legends in the past, people are convinced that Xiao Yi has the ability to serve ghosts and gods!
Late at night, in the tent of the Chinese army - Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Ding Feng, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, Yu Xuan...... More than 20 civil and military ministers gathered, all of them had dark circles under their eyes, and some of them even had sick faces!
They did not come by order, but after privately connecting in tandem, they went to the big tent of the Chinese army to petition together, because of the matter of the Yin soldiers, the army was panicked, and the number of deserters was increasing day by day, and the rest were also mentally exhausted!
The soldiers talked a lot, hoping to go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible and reunite with their parents, wives and children.
But staying in the pile of dead people is really unbearable, so the civil and military ministers think that even if they can't retreat and go back, at least change the camp, and the farther away from the Yin soldiers, the better!
"You are all heroes, how can you be like ordinary people, afraid of the sneaky things of nothingness?"
"Please forgive me, because of the matter of the Yin soldiers, the soldiers are panicked day and night, and they really can't hold on!"
"Yesterday more than 400 people fled, and if this continues, how many of the 100,000 troops will be left...... Let's change the camp and ask the mage to surpass the undead, with the heart of the soldiers! ”
The camp of the Jiangdong army was personally selected by Zhou Yu, located thirty miles southeast of Xiangyang City, just guarding the choke point, not only attacking and retreating, but also monitoring every move in the city!
It also spent countless manpower and material resources to build a strong camp, including countless barriers, trenches, antlers, and horses, even if it was hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, they did not want to attack further!
If the camp is changed, not only will the advantageous position be lost, but the previous efforts will also be in vain, how can Zhou Yu, as the commander of the army, easily agree?
But if you don't change the camp, you can't calm the people's hearts, the number of deserters is increasing, the soldiers are mentally exhausted, how to start a war with the enemy, how to conquer Xiangyang City, it's really a dilemma!
"The ghost is coming, kill the ghost...... I can't live anymore! ”
"Kill! -Kill! -Kill! ”
During the discussion, there was a sudden shouting and killing sound outside the tent, and it was extremely chaotic, everyone hurriedly went out of the account to watch, only to see that the left camp was in flames, and it had become a pot of porridge!
At first, I thought that the enemy was sneak attacking, but then I looked carefully and found that the people who were fighting each other in the firelight were all soldiers of the Jiangdong Army, wielding knives and guns one by one, fiercely slashing and killing their comrades, as if they were possessed by evil ghosts!
It turned out that the matter of the Yin soldiers borrowing the Tao made the soldiers in a trance, and even hallucinated, looking at everyone like a demon possessed, they all came to murder themselves, so the psychological pressure was extremely great!
While sleeping just now, one of the recruits had a nightmare and suddenly let out a cry, which alarmed the other sleeping soldiers...... They all cried out loud, and then brandished their blades and killed each other, which is 'Camp Howl!' ’
The soldiers lost their minds, and they would only shout and slash until they killed all the people around them, so when the army was fighting, they were most afraid of a camp roar, and if they were not properly handled, they would even be wiped out!
"The two generals, Gan Ning and Ling Tong, immediately went to the front camp to sit in the town and monitor every move of Xiangyang City, so as not to take the opportunity for the enemy army to sneak attack!"
"No!"
"The two generals, Ding Feng and Zhou Tai, led the men and horses of the headquarters to surround the left camp, and no one was allowed to run out, so as not to further expand the camp!"
"No!"
"The rest of the generals, return to the camp immediately, restrain your subordinates, light more torches, and don't make any more trouble!"
"No!"
…………………………
After the camp roar, if troops are sent to suppress it, it will be like putting out a fire with a salary, and the fire will not be extinguished when the salary is exhausted, then the situation will only get worse!
Zhou Yu did not lose the talent of the commander, and with the spirit of poisonous snakes devouring hands and strong men breaking arms, he decisively abandoned the chaotic left battalion, so that although some soldiers and horses would be killed and injured, the entire battalion could be saved!
After dawn, the chaos gradually calmed down, the fireworks in the left camp were lit up, and the night of cannibalism came down, killing and wounding six or seven thousand soldiers, and most of the hoarded grain, grass, and ordnance were also burned, which can be described as a heavy loss!
And through this incident, Zhou Yu also realized how much mental pressure the soldiers had, and if it was not properly resolved, it might lead to even greater chaos, so after discussing with the generals, he decided to change the camp to a new one!
The old camp was completely abandoned, and the army retreated seventy or eighty miles before finding a new camp, and then built a ram and dug a trench...... Rearrange the defense, fortunately during the relocation of the camp, the enemy did not attack, otherwise it would be even more troublesome!
…………………………………………
"Haha--just a few Yin soldiers and ghost pawns scared the Jiangdong rats to the point of urine, I thought that Zhou Lang was heroic and could hold on for a few more days, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!
The old general Huang Zhong listened to the order, led the men and horses of his headquarters out of the city, occupied the old camp of the Jiangdong Army, monitored every move of its new battalion, and then let Huang Xu and others work harder to continue to harass the enemy day and night! ”
"No!"
Upstairs in Xiangyang City-Xiao Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, Xiao Hei's face was full of pride, the Jiangdong Army abandoned the camp and left, losing the favorable terrain, and the rest of the matter was much easier!
As for the matter of 'Yin soldiers borrowing the road', it was just a deception, and he brought out a team of Mengjia troops from the swamp, because they had been isolated from the world for a long time, they were all bronze armor and bronze Changge...... Do the Qin army costume hundreds of years ago!
And then cleverly put on makeup, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind environment, it is really like the resurrection of the Yin soldiers, as for the clusters of ghost fires, they are just white phosphorus powder, and they will spontaneously combust when they encounter air!
This trick is not worth mentioning, what really scares Jiang Dongjun is the ghost in their heart, is it more precise............ It's war weariness!
